My friend and I use these for holding our ice tools by the carabiner hole in the head of the hammers when rapping down after completing a climb. Tools go in easily and quickly due to the large capacity of the device w/o fuss as when we TRY to even use a HMS carabiner to hold our tools for 'hands free' raps! Def worth the money!

its like an always there non-locking carabiner. works perfectly with my petzl harness. i have two and each sit right were my hands go so its like the perfect arm rest. its nice also because i can use each one "one handed".

Easy to use while wearing gloves. Does except ice screws or ice tools. Easy for clipping rock protection also.If a carrier could be made to attach easily to a backpack's shoulder straps, I would purchase them also.
